PPRO Group, specialist in international online payments, becomes Bancontact acquirer. This gives merchants the opportunity to accept worldwide Bancontact payments, which gives an added boost to international sales. Because the transaction is all processed in one place, merchants can profit from benefits such as faster transactions, faster refunds and, most importantly, improved conversion rates.

The way we pay is at a tipping point. Nearly 8 out of 10 younger Belgians hardly have any cash on them anymore. And about half of the people with a smartphone think mobile payment is a very practical method. These are just two of the many surprising conclusions of the Great Bancontact Payment Survey 2017.

From now on, you can also make contactless payments using the Bancontact app. That means you can pay even faster and more easily with your smartphone. And, of course, in all safety. This new payment method is now available for 99% of all Bancontact card holders in Belgium.
